VISIOMER® MPEG 2005 MA W is a Methoxy Polyethylene Glycol Methacrylate with a 50 % water content. It is a highly polar monomer with excellent water solubility. VISIOMER® MPEG 2005 MA W contains approximately 45 ethylene oxide (EO) units in the chain. In polymer binders it is used as co-polymerizable emulsifier to stabilize emulsions. In the construction industry VISIOMER® MPEG 2005 MA W is used as co-monomer to synthesize polycarboxylate (PCE) superplasticizers and water reducers.
Typical Applications
- Superplasticizers for cement rely on high MW MPEG methacrylates
- Polymerizable surfactants to stabilize emulsion polymers
- Provides freeze-thaw stability in emulsion polymers
- Makes emulsion polymer films less water sensitive
- Avoids coagulation during emulsion polymerization
- Co-monomers for polymeric dispersants
Benefits at a glance
- Improves flow characteristics and physical properties of cement- Polymerizable surfactant reduces water sensitivity of film
- Protects emulsions from freezing
- Effective dispersant
